Best historic spot in all of Charleston...architecture is stunning and the restoration is beautiful...buy the combo with the Aiken-Rhett house and save $4
Dates to 1808 and is filled with period furniture (check out the three-story spiral staircase, built largely without nails or screws). Thirty-minute tours take place every half-hour Read more.
Pretty cool spot with amazing feats of architecture 👍🏾
Extremely hot inside and u must check ur bags. Mosquitos voracious in courtyard. Bring bug spray.
Clearly needs preservation support to fund restoration. Interesting stable and kitchen house.
Very good. Unbelievable house. Wish it was fully restored and had live tour vs audio tour.
Great children's museum. Not as big or fancy as some but they have a great castle area and an adorable outdoor play area. A definite for kids in Charleston!
Lots of fun! We really enjoyed our time here
Best birth control in charleston.
We liked Fort Sumter, it was very educational. Try going the last boat of the day. They lower the American flag and the commentary is quite interesting. We also loved the boat ride back and forth.
Don't forget to earn your Junior Ranger badge. An hour is just enough time for a 10 year old to finish everything but some of the questions can only be answered by the Rangers.
The museum is a stark reminder of the need for preservation of our hallowed history. I suggest getting to the boat early (20 minutes) in order to give the artifacts the proper attention.
If you like architecture, this is a wonderful tour. You can take all of the photographs that you like which is a plus! There is no furniture iside the home; this is an unrestored plantation house.
GORGEOUS PLANTATION/HOME rich w/ African Culture. Sacred African Slave Cemetery on grounds (a must see). Be Respectful of these graves. Natural beauty, unrestored. Perfectly preserved.
Relax your mind & enjoy the tranquil simplicity
We love the Charleston Museum! Such a gem. Their locally-focused exhibits are always fun and amazing.
Everything from mummies to strange creatures in bottles like in the horror movies. Some truly interesting history. Not the largest museum but I wasn't disappointed.
If you knit, sew, spin, tat, weave, or quilt, check out the wonderful fiber arts display, about halfway through the main gallery on the second floor!
Very interesting. Our tour guide Stephan was terrific - he shared a lot of fascinating history within a brief 30 minute tour. Don't miss the exhibits on the top and main floors.
Great place to brush up on American History or see a Pre-Revolutionary Dungeon (especially at night on the Ghost & Dungeon Tour!)
George Washington visited the Old Exchange Building in May of 1791. Read all about his visit and more Old Exchange Building history in CHARLESTON'S OLD EXCHANGE BUILDING: A WITNESS TO AMERICAN HISTORY Read more.
Great tour. Very reasonable. Gives excellent perspective on Colony, Revolutionary, and pre-Antebellum history.
If you have a child in your group ask for a scavenger hunt sheet.
Read "The Invention of Wings" by Sue Monk Kidd before taking this tour.
We enjoyed our walk through the museum. Lots of different styles of artwork and a beautiful building to host it all in.
The Jonathan Green collection exhibit is fantastic as is the Civil Rights Era Photography. Such iconic images
After seeing the wonderful art in this museum make sure to check out the brand new courtyard, thanks Charleston Parks Conservancy!
Great tour and history of Charleston. Truly with the thirty minutes!
Sit on the joggling board with your sweetheart and jiggle your worries away!
General Robert E. Lee began growing his famous white beard while staying here in Charleston. Learn more about the house he stayed in by watching this CSPAN video. Read more.
The small museum on the College of Charleston’s campus is a welcome addition to the city’s art scene. Past exhibits have included American artists Jasper Johns and Shepard Fairey.
Stop on the 3rd floor to see what shows the Theatre Department are putting up!
While you’re exploring an exhibit at the Halsey Institute, make sure you settle into a beanbag chair in the media room for a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the featured artist.
